VALVE SOLUTIONSTISSUE HEART VALVES (THV)
Our latest aortic valve replacement solution for optimizing key clinical outcomes and the possibilities for patient lifetime management.
BIOPROSTHETIC AORTIC VALVE REPLACEMENT
The Epic Max valve is indicated for patients requiring replacement of a diseased, damaged, or malfunctioning native aortic valve. It may also be used as a replacement for a previously implanted aortic prosthetic heart valve.
Epic Max is an optimal solution for surgical aortic valve replacement and patient lifetime management. The larger redesigned internal orifice helps to alleviate the burden on the heart and reduce the load on the left ventricle. Having an index valve with a larger internal orifice area, low stent posts, and non-curtaining leaflets also has a positive effect on future valve-in-valve procedures. With the rise of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) or transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) procedures, the Epic Max valve is a promising option for patients today, tomorrow, and the road ahead.
Tom was diagnosed with mild aortic regurgitation in his 30s and started to experience extreme fatigue symptoms 20 years later. Tom received an Epic valve which opened a lifetime of opportunities for him. He regained his energy and reengaged in activities he loves most, like surfing.
Dana didn’t know she had a valve condition and was initially asymptomatic. Her general practitioner detected her heart murmur and recommended annual echocardiograms to keep an eye on it. Over time her symptoms progressed and impacted her active lifestyle. Dana was able to return to her favorite water activities after her aortic valve replacement with the Epic valve.
